In a fiery and uncompromising address at the 81st United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), former U.S. President Donald Trump drew a sharp contrast between previous leadership and his administration, declaring, “We inherited the dark age of America and transformed it to the golden age of America.”
Addressing world leaders and diplomats, Trump highlighted what he described as his decisive approach to global leadership and security.
Pointing to his record in office, he said, “While others have talked about courage, I have shown it.”

A major focus of Trump’s address was the escalating conflict with Iran. He claimed that the U.S. military had “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear programme.

According to Trump, his administration subsequently invited Tehran to negotiate a new agreement, but he said the Iranian government rejected the offer.
The claims and positions outlined in Trump’s address are likely to generate reactions from world leaders and further debate over U.S. foreign policy, Iran’s nuclear programme and the wider security situation
